The IL Poggione 2019 Brunello di Montalcino shows an evolved bouquet with aromas of dried fruit, forest floor, crushed flower and autumnal leaf. On a second nose, you get dark licorice, wet slate, cola and grilled rosemary. The tannins are powdery and dry. I recommend a medium-term drinking window as a result.
Features ample plum, cherry, iron, tobacco and underbrush flavors buoyed by a plump texture to match the dense structure, plus vibrant acidity to keep it all focused. Another year of aging should allow the finish to stretch out and this wine to reach its full potential.
Ruby red in colour, with a very intense, persistent nose and with red fruit notes. Warm, balanced flavour with velvet-smooth tannins. Long-lasting aroma.
It is indeed a challenge to do justice in describing a red wine that is regarded as the abiding standard for Brunello di Montalcino and is regarded as one of the originals. Nearly every wine critic and magazine has given the Il Poggionne Brunello Di Montalcino high points and high praise for its concentrated fruit, sublime structure and ageing potential. Tenuta Il Poggione is in fact one of three original makers of Brunello di Montalcino and family estate which was founded at the end of the 19th century by Lavinio Franceschi is today managed by the family's fifth generation heirs Leopoldo and Livia Franceschi. Along with acclaimed oenologist Alessandro Bindocci,the family has crafted a classic award winning style that expresses rich tones of blackberries, dried cherries, tobacco and smoked tobacco, elevated long barrel ageing with touches of minerality and supreme length.
